LOS ANGELES — Stephen Curry likened his left shin to a magnet. Three times in the past four games he has played, someone has kicked him there.

The latest irritation came Tuesday when during the Warriors’ 109-88 win against the lowly Los Angeles Lakers, Curry hobbled his way back up court. He scored on a layup in the third quarter, but not without taking contact from the Lakers’ Roy Hibbert.

“It’s just frustrating and annoying and any other adjective you want to throw in there,” Curry said. “Long term, it’s not something that I have to worry about. It’s just playing through an injury that’s there. It doesn’t get worse if I play on it unless I get kicked, and that’s happened three times since I did it. Hopefully, it won’t keep happening again.”

Curry said the training staff has indicated to him that the shin would need four weeks to completely heal. Of course, he won’t sit out that amount of time to get rid of all the swelling.

“I’ll keep treating it and keep playing,” Curry said.

Warriors interim coach Luke Walton, after hearing Curry adamantly lobby to continue playing, allowed the reigning MVP after a timeout to stay in the game. Curry promptly hit his fourth 3-pointer of the game after clearly limping moments earlier.

“If I hear from the trainers that he should be out, then we’ll take it out of his hands,” Walton said. “But I’ve played with a guy like that. Kobe (Bryant) wouldn’t sit out for anything. Most of the time, he was still able to play at a level that made us a better team.

“You give players of that caliber the benefit of the doubt unless the training staff says he shouldn’t be out there, and then we’ll pull him.”

Bryant on this night actually did sit out due to a sore right shoulder. Klay Thompson grabbed the spotlight, scoring 36 points while Curry in three quarters had 17 in the blowout as the Warriors improved to 33-2.

Even as the Warriors had Curry hobbling and were missing multiple reserves, the Lakers didn’t stand much of a chance without Bryant and D’Angelo Russell — two of their top four scorers. The Warriors led by as many as 33 points, as Thompson hit six 3-pointers in the game.

Not many of Thompson’s quarters can measure up to his 37-point outburst last season. But Thompson coming out firing with 22 points in the first quarter against the Lakers was a sight to see.

He was 9 for 14 from the field, including 4 for 7 from 3-point range. His teammates were well aware of his hot hand and made it their mission to feed him the ball.

“It kind of demoralizes the other team when you just keep getting open look after open look, and I just got hot tonight,” Thompson said.

Thompson has come on strong and scored at least 20 points in eight of his past 10 games, averaging 32.5 points in the four games since Curry originally suffered the shin injury.

Thompson was a first-time All-Star last season and could very well be back again this season despite Bryant dominating the sentimental vote in what he has said will be his final season before retiring.

Draymond Green saw his three-game streak of triple-doubles snapped, but he still racked up nine points, 12 rebounds and five assists. He too is playing at an All-Star level while Curry struggles to regain his footing.

Steve Kerr was expected to travel after the game to join the Warriors in Los Angeles before going along with the team for their next game at Portland, according to Walton.

The Warriors were missing Leandro Barbosa (sprained left shoulder) and James Michael McAdoo (sprained left toe). Festus Ezeli was rested for a second straight game after recovering from a toe injury. Shaun Livingston did not play in the second game of a back-to-back.
